<html> <body> Wim & list, <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Also on that note, yesterday at the voice recital, the flute professor just happened to be sitting behind me, and she asked if a student had requested the moving and tuning of the harpsichord for a recital the following Sunday. When I said no, I asked her if I should just pretend I don't know, and then when the student asks me at the last minute to tell her I don't have time. She said, no. The problem is not so much the student, but the accompanist who is taking h'chord lessons. The flute prof said the accompanist is kind of flaky, and not to take it out on the flute player.</blockquote> I'm going to "sort of" disagree here. Although I realize it's not likely to happen, as far as I'm concerned, it should be the person who's giving the recital who makes sure that all those "details" are taken care of. IMO, that should also be part of the training any performer, conductor, etc. receives while in school. <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>But it's just another one of those instances that Jeff talked about. Pianos and h'chords just magically get tuned and moved, and no one asks questions. </blockquote> As far as the tunings go, I guess in one way, I've contributed to that thinking by checking the concert schedule as I do. Plus, in the student recital hall, I also have reserved tuning times before the recital to do the tuning. <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Don't you just love this job? :):)</blockquote> Most of the time, yes! :-) <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Wim  </blockquote> Avery </body> </html>
